This week has been just creeping by. Monday seems so long ago. In lab, I got checked off on IV drip rates and did my first practice stick on a mannequin. Tuesday and Wednesday were clinical days. I did treatments this week. Tuesday, I mostly applied TED stockings and ointments. Woo. Wednesday, I followed around the wound nurse. That was a bit more interesting. I assisted her in lots of dressing changes on bed sores and other wounds. Those can get quite nasty, for sure.
Yesterday was the mid-term in IV. It was much easier than I was expecting. I still think I missed a couple, but overall, I think I did well.
Today is finally Friday, but I have a feeling this afternoon at school is going to drag, and I will likely spend a lot of my weekend working on online quizzes for school, and hopefully doing some studying for the rest of my mid-terms next week. Sadly, I don't usually get much of a break from school even on the weekends, but at least I don't have to go sit in class. :-/
